Dan Radcliffe from the Harry Potter movies has designed a piece of furniture store Habitat
, a furniture store in the UK. His creation, a "cu-bed," a kind of a soft rubik's cube that can be transformed into a bed or a barricade or a hiding-place.
All proceeds from the sale of this piece of furniture, which will go on sale in February, will be donated to Dan's charity of choice, Demelza House.
According to Caroline Cooren-Gleizak, Director of Communications of Habitat (in French):
We asked several personalities to design the object or the piece of furniture of which they would have dreamed of as a child.
Additional personalities asked to participate were Kate Winslet and Buzz Aldrin, the astronaut.

Uh.. nice.. uh.. what was that again? Oh nice "cu-bed", Dan. Very nice. Hmm.
Only kidding a little. It's innovative, it's trendy, it's... well maybe you should stick to Potter films. We DEFinitely can't get enough of that!
But of course, must add GREAT going for charity. I really respect and admire the work and effort he puts into charities. Excellent job.

Interesting to have a piece designed with the concept of something you would have dreamed of as a child with a kid who is still, by many definitions, a child himself, or not long ago a child.

Well I'm glad I'm not going to be asked to design a piece of furniture. It would be a downright disaster! Hell, I wouldn't even want to buy it...
But well done Dan, you seem to have many skills.

"Buzz Aldrin, the astronaut." Do people not know who Buzz Aldrin is?
I was trying to find a good picture of the bed Dan designed to see exactly how it works but no such luck. For now I'll just resort to seeing it as the Rubik's Cube of sleep.

He has designed a piece of furniture store? Hmm, okay. I won't even bother to ask about that. I guess what's meant is that he designed a piece of furniture for the store, Habitat. Hey, it happens. Oh gosh, anything to make more sales. 'Harry Potter designed this, so we know you're gonna love it!' Haha, I'm joking, that's pretty cool. Dan should consider having another job on the side, I cu-bed? Come on, that's awesome.
Whoo hoo! Dan's so cool with the Demelza House. They must love him there. Has he ever visited them? More than likely. Come on, let's start a wave for Dan! Whoo! ... Hoo!

I actually kind of dig it, and I'm a designer myself! It kind of reminds me of my old flip n'...sleep, but much cooler.

That is quite possibly the coolest piece of furniture I have ever seen. I would love one for my dorm room. I'm not going to lie...I'm seriously thinking about ordering one.
